scarcely equal to those of former years The

Yeates are the only artists mentioned with
applause.

ORIGIN OF A SAYING.
A Noted Lett Wasn't a Good Day fo1
Ducks. Either

-
Ducks, Either
In 1850, the year before the war, party OF
Northern Illinois hunters hied themselves TO
tho lakes of Minnesota for an annual duck
hunt Of few weeks, making the journey to
St Paul, which was at that time but little
more than frontier village by steamer
from Dubuque, La. Among the party was .
chap named Truax, q powerful liar, but a jolly,
good natured fellow withal, whose predo1ni-
nant weakness was readily excused, if not en-
tirely overlooked, by those who knew him well
Abe, that being his first name, seemed to
struggle more recklessly and naturally with
the truth when talking about bis proves as q
hunter OF game than on any other subject
One day, as the steamer was blowing its way
through Lake Pepin, number Of the male
passengers were seated forward on the boiler
deck in little knots, passing the time away In
conversation Abe was prominent figure in
one of the groups and had already astonished
himself fairly by the whoppers he had sue
cessfuily got of, when the mission Of duck
hunting, the mission which himself and
friends were out on, was adverted to.
1--WE shot a few ducks In my time" broke
in Abe, during momentary lull in the talk.
sHow many did you ever kill in one dayi"
queried a cross eyed passenger from down
about Burlington.
"You may not believe me, sir" replied
Truax, "but in the late fall Of 81 went out
alone one morning about seven miles with
my dog and gun and brought home 200 ducks
by actual count, and it wasn't very good
day for ducks either!"
"You did that all alone in one trip?' asked
the cross eyed man he put down some
figures on an envelope with pencil he had
carelessly taken from his vest pocket.
ayes, sir, did" said Truax, with tinge
of i'll humor to his tone.
"Those ducks would weigh about two and
a half pounds apiece. wouldn't theys" casually
remarked the Burlington man, as he kept on
making characters with his pencil
II should say they would" remarked the
unsuspecting Abe.
"Well, then," said the persistent querist,
''you killed just $50 pounds of ducks; and IL
you can tell me how one man is able to lug
that weight seven miles, and carry a gun at
the same time, you can do something that no
other liar in the northwest can match"
Abe reflected minute, and with THAT'S
whopper, isn't it, gentlemens" he invited the
whole party into the bar to take something
at his expense.
The remark, "And it wasn't good day for
ducks, either" was used banteringly on
Truax during the remainder of the trip, and
in time it became common on the Mississippi,
whence it spread until it became one Of the
proverbial Americanisms of the time.-St
